<br />m. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM <br /> <br />Ryan's quality assurance program is based on one simple concept: DO IT RIGHT <br />THE FIRST TJ}o£. From this concept Ryan has developed an extensive program that <br />assures the design and construction of projects that meet our client's needs. <br /> <br />Ryan l'Iti,;~ a project specific, written quality assurance program on evety project <br />we construct. Before construction begins, we perform a "quality audit" on the project. This <br />audit involves analyzing the key building systems and identifying potential quality problems. <br />Specific plans are then developed for each system to assure that the system is constructed <br />correctly and meets all of the client's requirements. <br /> <br />Before key subcontractors begin their work, Ryan holds a meeting with these <br />subcontractors, Ryan project personnel, the Owner, the appropriate design professional and <br />the independent testing agency. At this meeting there is a thorough discussion of all quality <br />expectations, installation procedures, testing requirements and any other issues related to <br />the correct performance of the work. <br /> <br />The documentation portion of our quality assurance program is primarily performed <br />by the independent testing agency. Important portions of the project such as soils, concrete, <br />paving and steel are thoroughly tested by the agency and written reports are provided to the <br />client and the appropriate design professional. In addition, the project design team <br />performs regular reviews and inspections as the project is constructed. <br /> <br />As with all other aspects of the design and construction of our projects, Ryan <br />manages the quality aspect in a pro-active manner. Qualityproblems are solved before they <br />have a chance to occur because we have only one opportunity to DO IT RIGHT THE <br />EIR9I' TJ}o£ . <br /> <br />IV. SCHEDULING <br /> <br />At Ryan a construction schedule isn't just a formality that we go through to meet a <br />specification requirement, it is the foundation for our entire design/build process. Evety <br />project we construct is completed according to a plan. The basis for that plan is a thorough, <br />detailed CPM (Critical Path Method) schedule that encompasses the design, construction <br />and approval elements of a project. Nl of our project managers, construction <br />superintendents and designers are trained in CPM scheduling and utilize this technique <br />on every project we undertake. <br /> <br />2 <br />
